Chocolate

A double date with Salesman and his new girlfriend went great. The girl was half Korean and half Polish, which made her beautiful and nice. I've never seen him happier than at her side, and we've known each other for 3 years, although In-ho told me the same thing, and after all, we've known each other all my life! We were returning to the car with my husband because there was no place to park the restaurant closer.

-How did you have fun?- I asked, hugging his side.

-I even liked this Anna very well- he said and kissed me on the forehead.

-You know what I thought about his words from yesterday. I'm afraid. Gi-hun wants revenge and he has finally started to make a life and he is 42 years old!

-I'm scared too. He is like a brother to me, I have known him forever and I don't want to hear that one day he may be missing from our lives. My clown," he said, and one lonely tear rolled down his cheek. I wiped it with my thumb and snuggled my front against his hard torso. When we broke away from each other, I looked behind his back, where the two men were standing, I immediately recognized them.

-In-ho, we have to run- I said quickly and we started at a fast pace to the car, but the two men also accelerated. When we managed to get to the car, we quickly fastened our seatbelts and set off, leaving the men behind, but they also got into the car and followed us: "We can't go home." Circle around the city, we must lose them!

-Sure, but who the fuck is that?!

"Gi-hun and your brother," I replied quickly and looked in the mirror. My husband's brother was driving, and player 456 was preparing a gun to pierce our tires - They want to puncture the tires, what to do?!

-I have a pistol in the glove compartment. Take it out, charge it up and shoot their tires," he ordered, and so I did. I took it out, charged it, rolled down the window and shot at their tire. Fortunately, nothing happened to them, but I knew that Joon-ho had taken a picture of our board and would check it with the police or anywhere else.

-We did it- I said, sitting comfortably in the armchair.

"And this is my wife," In-ho said, kissing my hand. We returned to the apartment, throwing our shoes somewhere, and connected with the Salesman to inform him about the whole situation.

-Can you handle it?- I asked when we explained everything to our friend.

-Of course it is. Otherwise, I would be in this position," he replied, and I saw In-ho rolling his eyes out of my eye.

-This is no longer a Gong game. You can die. Carry a gun with you and take those damn drugs so they don't turn you into a psychopath again," my husband replied seriously and we ended the call while I stared at him, not knowing what was going on. Gong? Is that his real name? Medicines? Was he sick with something? Was he a psychopathic?

-Medications?- I asked, embarrassed.

-He is... ehh slightly ill with brain and I'm serious. The drugs he has to take allow him to live as he does now, but if he didn't take them, he could eventually go crazy and kill someone by playing," he said, and I moved closer to him and hugged him. Fortunately, Min-ho was now at my eldest brother's house, so we were alone in the apartment. I put him to bed so he could rest. He fell asleep immediately, so in order not to wake him up, I went to the living room to publish a new post from tonight's dinner. When I sent it out into the world, it immediately stood out, and my attention was caught by a notification that someone wrote to me in a private chat. Usually it's my fans to send them greetings or something, but this time it wasn't them. It was none other than Jun-ho Hwang. My brother-in-law. I was afraid to enter because I knew there would be no turning back, but curiosity won over common sense and I clicked on our Instagram chat.

Pivate Chat

Jun-ho_Hwang: Hey, sorry to write at this time, but can we meet? I will be alone and without any weapons.

Beverly_Scott: Hi, nothing happened, but the meeting is not a very good idea. You saw us then, and how can I be sure you won't betray me or In-ho? We practically do not know each other.

Jun-ho_Hwang: I know, but he's my brother and you're his wife. I don't want to make it difficult for you, but just talk to you. Even just for a moment I have to ask about something live.

Beverly_Scott: That would be unfair to In-ho.

Jun-ho_Hwang: I know, but please wait a moment.

I wasn't sure if it was a good idea, but my curiosity won out, as usual, and I wrote him the address of my favorite night café. He wrote back that he would be there in 20 minutes and I only read it. I felt stupid because everything was happening without In-ho's knowledge, but like a dead man I kept telling myself that it was for his good, although later I doubted if it was good that I agreed. I changed from my dress into comfortable pink skinny jeans and a white sweater, and replaced my high heels with white sneakers. I tied my hair in a loose bun and threw on a coat with a thick scarf and fluffy earmuffs. I took a few swon and a phone with me. I closed the door to the apartment twice, just like before.

I took the elevator down to the underground parking lot and left it in my white car. After 10 minutes I was already in front of the café. I parked the car next to it and went inside. I went to the counter to order hot chocolate with whipped cream and entered the main room, which was small. There were several couples or some families there. I scanned the room and found him. He was sitting by the window, I walked towards him without hesitation. The closer I was, the worse I felt and I was sure that I would regret it. To hell with my curiosity. The boy was dressed similarly to me. He was wearing a beige sweater, I could see black, looser pants and white shoes. He was handsome, not like his brother, but he had something about him. He had black hair and brown eyes. Nothing has changed since these 3 years. There was no scar on his face after falling off the cliff, but I'm curious about his shot arm, whether he still has a scar like my husband, or whether it has already healed.

-Jun-ho Hwang yes?-I asked and the man stood up and gave me his hand, which I shook.

"That's right, Beverly Scoot, how do I remember?"

-Yes, but it's been Hwang for 2 years now- I said and took off my coat, scarf and earmuffs. The man pushed my chair away like a real gentleman. They had the same upbringing. You can see that they were real brothers but with different mothers.

-I'm glad you agreed to meet, but I'm surprised that you chose this place. I was sure that you would prefer somewhere near your apartment to feel safe, that you can run away at any time.

-I wasn't willing, but curiosity won out- I said and the waitress handed me my hot drink, thanked me and buried my lips in it.

-I understand... I don't want you to understand this meeting as some kind of harassment or something, just please tell me why In-ho hasn't spoken to me all these years?

-I've known him for 9 years and I've been with him for 8. When we met, I was in the last year of high school and the day after our meeting he went to this island to play for money. You have seen it all. Only he won and became the Frontman because his father asked him to," I said in a low voice so that no one next to us would find out.

-Our father asked him to do it? My mother told me about him that he was a bad father and left us when I was 3 years old and In-ho was 19. I don't know him very well but I didn't think he was involved either. Have you met him? How is he?

"He died on December 25, 2 years ago," I said, and the man nodded. He felt out of his own just like me-Now I have a question for you. What's the deal with In-ho's first wife?

-She was his love from high school. He was not recognizable at the time and he was terribly shy, he dreamed of being a policeman, but she got sick while pregnant, she insisted that she would give birth, but both she and the child died. It was cirrhosis of the liver, they needed money. In-ho got into debt and his bosses decided several things that he took bribes and they fired him. He disappeared somewhere with his friend, as far as I know, they had to go to the Sea of Japan in May 9 years ago. You probably met there, but when he returned home, his wife was already dead. He broke down and a month after her death he disappeared without a trace. I've been following you on instagram for a long time and when I saw that you posted with it in 2016 that you are together, my hope grew. I moved to Seoul to find him and you, but you often left, and now that I have woken up and discovered that I have a nephew, I want my brother to reconnect with me all the more. I want to be with him, with you and your child, we are family. I won't tell the police about you and this island, because I want to be present in your life as a brother, brother-in-law and uncle Min-ho. I don't ask for anything more," he said, and I felt terribly sorry. In-ho started a new life without him. He started a family and is respected as the Front man in his games, but also as a businessman around the world. He's popular, and his brother has been looking for him all these years because he wanted to have him back with him.

-I understand you, but this decision was not mine. It was In-ho who decided that this would be the best for all of you. I don't interfere in his affairs that happened before we met. He doesn't talk about you only when I ask you or your childhood. I would like you to renew contact, but it is not possible when one of the parties does not want to. Something must have told him that Jun-ho had done so, and respect his decision. You will always be his family and Uncle Min-ho, but I don't decide, it's in In-ho's business, not mine. It was nice to meet you, but it's time for me-I said and finished my hot chocolate. I got dressed and put the money on the table to pay for me and my brother-in-law. Before he said something, I wished him a nice night and left the café, heading calmly to the car. When I was about to open the car, I heard this voice that I have hated since high school.

-Hey seniorita, where are you in such a hurry?

-Thanos, get the fuck out of me once and for all- I said and turned to face the purple-haired man.

-Just let me rap you and I'll leave you alone if you don't like it, okay?-he asked and I knew that I had no other choice but to agree. This man is too stubborn to understand the refusal.

-Okay, just quickly, because I'm in a hurry- I said impatiently and folded my arms on my chest.

-I'm a legend and my name is Thanos. I wear black clothes like my soul, but I met a lotus flower in this seedy city. I like you!-he said and showed his Korean heart. In the past it would have even captivated me, but not now.

-I'm glad you think so and now I'm going. Have a nice night, I said, and I got in the car and drove out of the parking lot, and the man watched me as I disappeared around the corner. I parked the car in my place and drove upstairs to my apartment. I hung up my clothes and went to the bedroom where I changed into my pajamas and went to bed. I wanted another day because I had had enough of it.
